  58. Tomorrow, let’s do a tweet with me, like on a Peloton, and looking at like a screen and tweet “and just like that, I’m doing the work of the people”… like a twist on that Sex and the City… but I’m *working* …

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 8, 23 @ 2:09 pm

    Comment by McGuppin Thursday, Jun 8, 23 @ 2:35 pm

  67. While it’s impossible and unfair to compare anyone to Jesse White…

    … it is possible to mock people… who see an entitled politician look like a silly teenager… watching YouTube … waiting for Uber eats during the first week of summer vacation.

    Is working for the state so easy you look like you’re 8 seconds away from rolling on your back to take a nap?

    This isn’t fun “behind the scenes kookiness”, this is a spoiled rich kid saying “this is me working hard”

    It’s unfair to anyone to be compared to Jesse White, but Alexi has no clue why White was beloved.

    You love me.
    We’re a happy family.

    Won’t you say you love me too?

    Comment by Lurker Thursday, Jun 8, 23 @ 9:44 pm
